The concept would be little more than a great notion if the New York-based label, a 15-year veteran of the custom tailoring game, hadn't executed it with such aplomb. The new suits come off the rack with the essentials nailed: fitted shoulders, a slim profile, and the ease and lightness of an unconstructed body. Yes, the suit can take a tumble without losing its structure.

Then there are the colors: The 100 percent cotton oxford suits come in a seasonally appropriate light blue, a bold but wearable pink, and a more traditional navy that reads as off-gray. Because these Portugal-made separates are so light, they feel no more oppressive than your go-to button-down and look a lot crisper, making them ideal for when a rehearsal dinner devolves into an impromptu Wiffle Ball tournament.
